The 2012 Nissan GT-R delivers an honest-to-goodness high, and a unique driving experience from a justifiably legendary performance machine.

The 2011 Nissan Juke is a fun, sporty little urban runabout with zippy performance, a shot of utility, and a face that’s all its own. For city dwellers looking to tread the midtown mayhem, it’s perfect.

The Nissan Versa is a fine, budget-minded people mover. A vehicle able to fit 5 adults in comfort, and get great fuel economy, all for about half the cost of the typical family sedan, is indeed hard to find. However, it would not be our first choice.

The 2012 Porsche 911 is all-new – 90% of its parts are fresh. More electronics have creeped into the driving equation, but when they work this well, it’s hard to complain about them. Grab the wheel of a new 911, find some twisties, and enjoy the ride… We sure did!

The 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is a rich man, or woman’s, toy. It’s the most race proven, non-turbo 911 performance that you can still hang a license plate on. And it’s also worth every penny.

The luxurious morphing of the 2013 Porsche Boxster has not diminished our enthusiasm for its driving performance one bit. It is everything that it was, and more, and everything you expect in a Porsche. While no car is perfect, in the vaunted world of sports cars, the Boxster is astonishingly close.

Traditional Porschephiles may never respect the Cayenne, but the 2011 edition clearly deserves its Porsche badge. It looks more like a Porsche, feels more like a Porsche, and most importantly, drives more like a Porsche than ever.

The Cayman R is far from being a typical car. It’s a faster, better handling version of what was already one of the best performance cars available.

The 2013 RAM 1500 truly has the guts to deliver real world truck usefulness; all while getting class best fuel economy and delivering a killer ride. It has what it takes to charge through the full-size pickup truck ranks at ramming speed.

The 2010 Ram Heavy-Duty 2500 and 3500 are tough-looking platforms that are more capable than ever, but can also be jammed full of creature comforts. The HD truck arena is really heating up. But for our buck, the Ram Heavy Duty is the way to work!

While still brazenly extravagant, the Rolls-Royce Ghost is a totally modern saloon, and one that the super affluent may actually demand to drive themselves.

This Toyota/Subaru joint venture has met our expectations in every way, and in some areas, the 2013 Scion FR-S has even exceeded them. And, most remarkable of all, has brought back the fun and affordability of an everyman’s…and woman’s…sports car.
